  • Page 10 National Electrical Code ANSI NFPA 70-1984. The appliance should be connected ONLY to the type of gas for which it is equipped. All Southbend equipment is adjusted at the factory, however, burner air shutters and pilot heights should be checked at installation and adjusted if necessary. Check type of gas on serial plate in the compartment below the oven.
  • Page 11 INSTALLATION EXHAUST FANS AND CANOPIES: Canopies are set over ranges, ovens, etc., for ventilation purposes. It is recommended that a canopy extend 6" past appliance and be located 6' 6" from the floor. Filters should be installed at an angle of 45 degrees or more with the horizontal. This prevents dripping grease and facilitates collecting the run-off grease in a drip pan, usually installed with a filter.
  • Page 12 INSTALLATION GAS CONNECTION: A. BROILER SECTION: 1. Locate the 3/4" NPT threaded pipe nipple protruding from the upper left rear of the unit. 2. Connect gas supply to this nipple. Use pipe joint compound which is suitable for LP gas on all threaded connections.* 3.
  • Page 13: Southbend

    INSTALLATION 7. Connect gas supply at right, left, or both ends. When a Spreader Plate with a "Tee" connection is inserted in a battery, the gas supply may be connected at this point. Ranges with rear connections may also be used in this respect.

    The suffix "D" indicates that there is no centrifugal switch or gas solenoid valve. These units employ the Southbend exclusive burners which can operate with or without the blower. For optimum performance, however, the blower should be used: I.

    OPERATION IV. After the burners have operated properly on HIGH for several minutes, turn the valve to LO. The surface of the ceramics on the burner should become a very dull red, with a slight blue haze. The burners should NOT flutter or "POP"...
  • Page 16: Southbend

    OPERATION WARMING OVEN: The oven is heated by the flue products from the broiler. To operate the broiler burners just to heat the oven, when the broiler is not in operation, is inefficient and not recommended. When the optional electric element is installed in this oven, it can be used when the broiler is not operating, or to increase the temperature of this oven when the broiler burners are operating.
  • Page 17: Cooking Hints

    COOKING HINTS Due to the speed of this infra-red broiler, broiling times will be reduced and techniques may require some modification. For most broiling of steaks, chops, etc., the burners should be operated on "HI" and the degree of internal rareness and surface condition can be controlled by raising and lowering the rack mechanism.
  • Page 18: Maintenance

    MAKING SUCH ADJUSTMENTS. IF IN DOUBT - CALL YOUR AUTHORIZED SERVICE AGENCY. Southbend equipment is sturdily constructed of the best quality materials and is designed to provide durable service when treated with ordinary care. To expect the best performance, your equipment must be maintained in good condition and cleaned daily.

Dry thoroughly with a dry cloth. BROILING SECTION: To prevent excess smoking, the grids, rack drip pan and the other members must be kept clean of food remnants.

    ADJUSTMENTS RECALIBRATION: Oven Thermostat Field recalibration is seldom necessary and should not be resorted to unless experience with cooking results definitely proves that the control is not maintaining the temperature to which the dial is set. To check oven temperatures when recalibrating, use a thermocouple temperature test instrument, or a reliable mercury thermometer.
